NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE · NORTH EAST · UKSearch, AI visibility and growth built around real customer journeys.
ABOUT REHAN AHMED

Search, AI visibility and growth — connected to the customer journey.

I work across discoverability, acquisition, conversion, CRM and measurement so businesses can understand not only where traffic came from, but whether it became a useful commercial outcome.

WHAT I DO

I connect channels that are too often managed separately.

Technical SEO can improve eligibility but still fail commercially if the landing page is weak. Paid search can generate leads but still waste budget if qualification and CRM follow-up are poor. Analytics can produce dashboards without answering whether marketing created customers. My approach connects those layers.

EXPERIENCE

Practical digital growth work.

SEARCH & CONTENT

Organic search, local search and technical foundations

Site architecture, crawl/indexation, content journeys, local visibility, entity clarity, structured data and measurement.

PAID ACQUISITION

Google Ads and intent-led acquisition

Search terms, campaign structure, landing-page alignment, conversion tracking and lead-quality feedback.

CRM & CUSTOMER JOURNEY

HubSpot, forms, automation and lifecycle visibility

Lead capture, property mapping, segmentation, workflows, email/SMS journeys and connecting marketing activity to downstream outcomes.

ANALYTICS

GA4, GTM, Search Console and reporting

Measurement design that starts with business questions rather than dashboards for their own sake.

HOW I PUBLISH

Knowledge Hub editorial principles.

Important guides are written to stand alone as useful resources. They link to primary documentation, explain limitations, distinguish first-party data from third-party estimates, and are reviewed as platforms change.

No invented performance claims.
Where a page uses an example, benchmark or scenario, it should be clearly described as an example unless evidence can be published.
QUALIFICATIONS

Formal study plus implementation.

MSc Digital Marketing — Northumbria University. Postgraduate study across digital strategy, research and marketing practice.

IDM Certificate — Digital & Data Driven Marketing. Professional study focused on data-led digital marketing.

WHY NEWCASTLE

Local base, wider digital remit.

I am based in Newcastle upon Tyne and the site has a strong Newcastle/North East commercial layer. The Knowledge Hub is deliberately broader: the platforms, measurement systems and AI/search changes covered here affect organisations across the UK.
